The Dallas Wings are three games under .500 after losing eight straight. They still have a shot to get the WNBA’s last playoff spot, but they’ll have to reach that goal under a new head coach, because their old one just got canned.

With just seven games left in the regular season, in the middle of a playoff push, the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces have had to forfeit a game against the Washington Mystics that was supposed to be played on August 3. The Aces were backed into this corner by a hellish travel experience and some unforgiving decision-making by…

Of the many responses to Elizabeth Cambage’s historic 53-point performance with the Dallas Wings on Tuesday afternoon, one of the most common dealt not with the performance itself, but the Tuesday afternoon part. Why, people quite reasonably wondered, was one of the great moments in league history taking place while…

The Connecticut Sun probably thought they would be the only ones with a buzzer beating opportunity as the clock wound down in their 83-83 game with the Atlanta Dream tonight. But they didn’t factor in the otherworldly range of Dream guard Tiffany Hayes.

Dallas Wings center Liz Cambage made history this afternoon when she hung 53 points on the New York Liberty. Not only was that tally over half of her team’s 104 points, it’s the most in a single game in WNBA history. Cambage shot 17–of–22 from the field, 4–of–5 from three, and made 15 of her 16 free throws. She also…

The Mystics squashed the Liberty in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, thanks to an Elena Delle Donne buzzer beater. She got the shot off thanks to a brilliantly drawn inbounds play, but also because the Liberty played some atrocious defense that left Delle Donne with an acre of space at the three-point line. (The…

Fourteen years ago, when Diana Taurasi began her WNBA career with the Phoenix Mercury, she was fresh off a legendary career at UConn, where she helped lead the Huskies to three straight NCAA championships on top of her individual awards. She was also in the midst of training with the U.S. Olympic team, playing…

The New York Times reported today that the Trump administration plans to implement a rule banning reproductive healthcare providers, like Planned Parenthood, from getting certain federal funds if they provide abortion referrals. Hours later, WNBA President Lisa Borders put out this statement:

A little less than a year ago, the Minnesota Lynx endured a gut-wrenching, one-point WNBA Finals Game 5 loss on their home court to the Los Angeles Sparks. In the same situation this year, they got revenge. The Lynx took down the Sparks tonight for their fourth title in seven years, in a Game 5 that featured no ties…

The Minnesota Lynx staved off a second-half comeback by the Los Angeles Sparks in tonight’s Game 2 of the WNBA Finals—with the Sparks squandering two key opportunities in a wild and messy final minute before losing, 70-68, to even the series at one game apiece.

Rebecca Lobo was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame last night. Lobo was easily one of the greatest players in college basketball history, leading the Connecticut Huskies to an undefeated season and an NCAA Championship in 1995, and winning just about every individual award there is at the…

It’s been a great season for the WNBA’s living legends. In June, Diana Taurasi became the league’s all-time leading scorer. Sue Bird of the Seattle Storm is just three assists away from becoming the all-time assists leader. And Minnesota’s Sylvia Fowles is the overwhelming frontrunner for the MVP award.

CLEVELAND—Doris Burke has never spoken a single word to Drake. And they never had dinner together, despite what the internet says. Before November of last year, when Drake famously wore a black shirt with Burke’s smiling face above the phrase “woman crush everyday” during a Toronto Raptors home game and used his ESPN…
